Question - are there any stationery/script groups at IO? - solving separator and text problem
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDear forum members,
We¡¯re thinking of migrating our script and tag group to IO-groups. I have set up the group already and my moderator and I are still the only
members. I¡¯m sending try-out scripts to the group.
However, when I send a script, I get the separator and Groups.io links/text below across the top of it. (see below) Did any of you members that have stationery/script groups find a solution
to this problem?
I would like us to be able to send and view our stationeries without the
text across our creations.
It would be ok if it really shows up at the footer of our script. We have a snippet that we use at Yahoo to move their divider and text to the bottom of our script, but that does not work in IO.groups. I have sent several try-out scripts but it still shows up. ?
I hope I phrased this request correctly as English is not my native
tongue.
?
Thank you so much in advance!

Jong Owner of the Creative script and tag friends group ?
Below you find the separator and text I am talking about:

Re: Can't create a group, but e-mail says it doesn't exist
Barb,
The name of a subgroup has two components. One is the name in common with its primary group (the "subdomain" name), which was the primary group's name before it had any subgroups. See for example the beta group - it's primary is now "main", and "beta" is in common with its subgroups.
The "subdomain" or primary name must be unique system-wide, but the subgroup names only need to be unique with respect to each other.
If the existing group has no (important) content, and you want to simply start it over as a subgroup, that I think you can just do using the same name without first needing to rename or delete the existing group. Because that subgroup name will be "inside" the primary group name, in a way like one folder inside another.If the existing group does have important content it would take an action by support to pick it up and make it a subgroup of another group. Same answer, no name conflict (and that would likely leave the original group name unreserved).
?
Delete reserves, rename does not. So if you want to delete a group and later re-use its name, rename it before you delete it.

Maggie, I see you haven't had an answer yet. Perhaps more detail will help. |

Good guess. The North American Summits on the Air group, ¡°nasota¡± at Yahoo! (), is the one we are considering moving to . is an informational site for the same thing.

Ken,
If you create a group, and then ... You rename the group, Is theNo, I'm pretty sure it isn't reserved at all after a rename. Or can you rename your group back to the original name at a laterYes, assuming no one else has taken the name by then. Shal |

Patty,
So, thinking that maybe we could create a Flicker account for the oldYes, 1 TB of free storage, 10x the Yahoo Group limit. That might be a rather daunting task, though - moving ALL those photosAlso yes! However, if you get them organized into folders on your computer (via PG Offline, for example) Flickr does have bulk uploaders that can take a folder of photos at a time. You can also bulk upload them by way of Adobe Lightroom, but then you might be tempted to take on the even more daunting task of examining and perhaps adjusting them. Shal |

If you create a group, and then due to complaints about similarity to a group on facebook, google, or YG You rename the group, Is the original group name reserved indefinitely as well? Or can you rename your group back to the original name at a later date? I created a group.io list (3G) as a place for a popular YG list (3G) to relocate. The (3G) list owner has decided to go down with the ship and let the (3G) list die with YG. I renamed my groups.io (3Gone) list to distance itself from the old YG (3G)list. Now it sounds like if the old YG (3G)list decides to save itself it can not create a new groups.io list with the (3G)name I had originally used. KEN "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success." STEINBECK - CANNERY ROW On 2018-02-06 09:31, Shal Farley wrote:

Barb, that is a very good question.? I don't know, but I suspect folks do peruse through them, because we're a crafting group, so photos are kind of key in getting inspiration for your own sewing, quilting, machine embroidery projects.? So, thinking that maybe we could create a Flicker account for the old photos.? Just have to see if that is also free, based on the huge number of photos we have.? That might be a rather daunting task, though - moving ALL those photos to a Flicker page.? Have to look into that this weekend when I have some time.?

Re: Can't create a group, but e-mail says it doesn't exist
wunder,
We can¡¯t create the group, but when I send mail to [it], I get thisThat suggests to me that someone already created a group by that name, then deleted it. The name of a deleted group remains reserved indefinitely. You could write to [email protected] to see if Mark will unlock the name for you. Shal |

Yes, I have a password. I the owner for two groups.

When I try and create an ¡°nasota¡± group, the error message is "That address has already been taken." ?

Re: Thinking about moving my groups from Yahoo over here, but have some questions
Bruce,
(1) Are there any "gotchas" like this ends up being a paid service?It only becomes paid if you deliberately upgrade your group. (2) If there are paid levels, what do I get for free?See the Pricing link at the bottom of every Groups.io page. While you're at it, you may wish to peruse Help and maybe some of the others. /static/pricing (3) Can I merge two Yahoo groups into one groupio group?Yes. Just run the transfer procedure (link at the page footer) once for each Y!Group, specifying the same Groups.io group as the target. An alternative would be to make one group be a subgroup of the other. That would only make sense if the membership of one of them includes all (or substantially all) of the members of the other. There have been some discussions about doing this in the last week or so, search for subgroup in our Messages archive. See also our wiki, which has some articles about subgroups. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home Shal |
